A paper crane with some life energy floated into Chai Anping's hands from the spiritual realm. At this time, he was lying in a leeward slope pothole in the desert to rest.
Attracting the attention of protoss for days and even attacking some protoss stationed outside had made him quite exhausted.
But also thanks to multiple attacks, more than half of the energy needed to advance the alchemy magic power has been accumulated.
"Why did Ms. Beard contact me suddenly? Is it related to the previous vision?"
Chai Anping was resting at that time. Although he was awakened by the noise caused by Naga Kapoulos, he still didn't know what happened.
Just as I was about to return to the spiritual realm, a message from Ms. Beard came over.
He immediately took apart the paper crane, and on the note was Ms. Bearded's usual concise style -
"Pompei was attacked, and the main consciousness has taken revenge on the Star Spirit clan, so don't worry."
Chai Anping: "..."
Although it’s just one sentence, isn’t the amount of information a bit too much?
Moreover, the words "attack on Pompeii" greatly stimulated Chai Anping's nerves. His pupils shrank slightly. If Lux hadn't insisted on returning to Demacia, wouldn't he have been caught by the protoss?
A deep chill surged into his heart.
The Star Spirit is indeed targeting him...
Originally, Ms. Huzi didn't want Chai Anping to start a war and returned to the fifth depth. However, after receiving the news, Chai Anping really didn't bother to rest and immediately returned to Pompeii.
As a result, he discovered on the way that the beacon given to him by Lady Beard had been damaged and could not be used for guidance.
Or he found the entrance passage after searching for a while at the approximate location.
An intact city came into view, and the name "Pompeii" was still on the city gate. The only thing that made Chai Anping feel uncomfortable was...the breath of everyone in the entire city seemed to have disappeared, so it seemed a bit dead.
The figure of the bearded lady appeared at the top of the city. He was holding a book in his hand, and several seedlings grew out of the open pages.
"Didn't I send you a message? Why did you come to Pompeii?"
Chai Anping twitched his lips slightly when he heard this, why could the bearded lady still look like "I'm right"?
But after thinking about it, he realized that this was quite consistent with the character of the bearded lady, and he calmed down again.
"I would like to ask Madam Bearded, is the target of the protoss attack this time you or Lux?"
"According to my estimation... the biggest possibility is still Lux."
Ms. Beard did not shy away from it: "But the protoss attacked very quickly, so they probably couldn't tell whether Lux was in Pompeii or not."
"So..." Chai Anping raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "This might be a good thing?"
The bearded lady said expressionlessly: "As long as you don't expose yourself, Lux should not be in danger in the short term."
Anyway, you are the children of destiny...
He reminded again: "The Star Spirit's malice towards you has been clearly revealed when they took action against Lacus. The goal of all actions must be to destroy you. And after 'killing' Lacus, Barcelona's winning hand
It should surface soon."
Chai Anping got the answer he expected, feeling heavy but also a little happy.
Lux's safety is what he is most worried about. If Lux can be safely hidden in Demacia, Chai Anping can focus more on dealing with the protoss.
"I will start preparing for the ascension ceremony right away, and the final preparations will be completed soon."
Ms. Bearded looked at him deeply: "You just have to prepare according to your own wishes. I won't interrupt anymore."
Chai Anping said goodbye and left. Next, he would perform a scene with Xingling——
A drama about losing a loved one.
Before he returned to the present world, he went to the Broken King for advice on his acting skills, focusing on reenacting Foego's famous lines in person.
"My love will never be lost! I will be ruined with my eyes!"
If Foyego hadn't been well behaved, and if Isulde was sitting beside him with a red face, Chai Anping would have been stabbed several times by the Broken King's Sword.
After returning to the present world, Chai Anping has been thinking about what Barcelona's purpose is.
It is understandable to weaken Ou Chen and Madam Beard's strength and cut off his support.
But in the history of the Protoss Dominance, there were not many actions to massacre civilians and target mortals!
After all, in the eyes of the stars, apart from the usefulness of their bodies and beliefs, mortals are only part of maintaining the base of living beings.
To the extent that some protoss would rather parasitize on other creatures than commit themselves to using a mortal body.
Chai Anping already had a vague intuition, and after the protoss targeted Lux, his feeling became stronger.
But just as Barcelona misunderstood him, he couldn't really understand why the protoss would choose such a strange method - from Chai Anping's perspective, the protoss clearly had many opportunities to kill him directly!
Both sides went astray due to the complicated information and revelations, but neither of them fully went into it.
Because the fundamental goal of both parties will not change due to any misguidance - that is to completely eliminate the other party!
And in the exploration of the unknown, Barcelona is undoubtedly ahead of everyone.
"..."
Chai Anping raised his palm and condensed a ray of alchemical magic power.
Facing the increasingly pressing pressure from the protoss, even he began to become more and more uneasy about whether the alchemy magic power could finally transform.
In fact, after using the star core to open up the opportunity for promotion, he can gradually increase his alchemical magic power above the average line by relying on his usual insights. But the problem is that what he lacks most now is time!
The huge increase in combat power brought about by the ascension ceremony is an indispensable process for him when fighting against the protoss in the future.
"Perhaps I should take the initiative to set up a trap to lure a star spirit and let him become my nourishment."
Speaking of the last hope, I'm afraid this is the only way left...
And the goal actually has...
Chai Anping's eyes moved slightly, but this bone is not easy to chew!
…
Ms. Beard came to the outside of the barrier where the souls died, hesitated for a while, and finally touched the seal gently.
"What's the matter?" Ou Chen's voice came from deep inside.
"I can't understand that Gracie Shelley is still deliberately slowing down the pace of promotion. This is... completely unreasonable."
Ou Chen didn't expect that Ms. Beard came to ask about this matter. He paused for a moment and then chuckled: "About this matter... maybe I can understand his thoughts."
"Oh?" Ms. Beard was a little unhappy after hearing this.
Ou Chen sighed in a nostalgic tone: "Perhaps... it's because he has seen the scenery from high places, so he wanted to try to see if he could stand on his own."
If Chai Anping originally just wanted to "succeed in becoming a god", but after experiencing the history of thousands of years ago, his thoughts quietly changed.
As the initiator of his influence, Ou Chen only felt honored.
